Student gives comedic tour of hometown Bogan Gate

A Sydney radio production student has taken YouTube viewers on a comedic tour of his home town, Bogan Gate - a small village about 40km from Parkes, New South Wales.

Addressing the common questions he receives of "where's that?", "what's there?", "how many people are there?", "are you joking?" and "does that place actually exist?", TAFE student Mitchell Coombs gives city-slickers a taste of what it's like to have "Bogan pride".

Mr Coombs has an early gripe with the town's sign, disputing the town's population of 200 - believing it to be much lower. The population of Bogan Gate was in fact 307 at the 2011 census.

He then shows off the town's pub: the Railway Motel-Hotel - which has become even more central to Bogan Gate life in recent years, after both the general store and post office shut down.

Local sporting facilities are also featured, and include the "past its prime" tennis court and the venue of Mr Coombs mother's 40th birthday, the Bogan Gate Golf Club, where at age seven he danced atop the bar.

While visiting the town's Uniting Church, he has a run-in with a lizard - initially freaking out that it was a snake - before chasing it into the church's outdoor toilet.

Interestingly, he explains the story behind how the town got its name – with Bogan initially translating from Aboriginal to English as the birthplace of a noble tribesman or woman.
